Terrorist attacks in 2016 on the map
Year 2016 abounded in terrorist events, which invariably shock the whole world. Information about the attacks in Brussels, Paris or about the latest attack in Berlin, in which many innocent people were killed, were circulated by the Western media. The Middle East remains the most inflammable spot in terms of terrorist attacks, in particular Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan. In addition, the alarming increase in terrorist attacks in Europe has been reported in 2016.
Esri company, in cooperation with PeaceTechLab, has created Story Maps application, which presents locations of terrorist attacks worldwide, along with information about the organization that launched the attack, as well as the number of fatalities. This is another example of using geoinformation technology for security purposes. The graphical presentation of data on the map shows a number of relationships, for example, trends in the location of terrorist attacks and, therefore, the most vulnerable areas, the frequency of attacks carried out per year, the number of deaths or zones of relative safety
